Abstract
The objective of this quasi-experimental research was to study the effects of an applied Soeng Sa Nai exercise training program on blood pressure, body mass index and health related fitness of elderly with hypertension. The subjects were 60 elderly females with hypertension aged between 60-79 years old selected by purposive sampling method (criterion for selecting and sorting out was available). The two experimental groups divided by random sampling method were 30 subjects to be trained with an applied Soeng Sa Nai exercise training program and the control group of 30 subjects to spend daily lives habitually. The tools used in this research were: 1) An applied Soeng Sa Nai exercise training program created by the researcher and 2) Health assessment form. The data and variable describing were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation while hypothesis were tested by analyzing the variance of repeated measures ANOVA and ANCOVA at statistical significant level of .05.
The results revealed no significant difference at the level of .05 after 8 weeks and 12 weeks of experiment of an applied Soeng Sa Nai exercise training program on blood pressure and body mass index of elderly females with hypertension. However, this developed aerobic exercise training program with a moderate level can be used to enhance the physical fitness of the elderly people appropriately.
